Professional learning

The five-day course covers both core curriculum and practical teaching approaches required to teach Year 7 and 8 mathematics. This course is designed and delivered by Notre Dame University in Fremantle.

To participate you must have an ATAR (or equivalent) in mathematics and not currently be studying to specialise in this area.

In collaboration with the Science Teachers Association of Western Australia (STAWA) our five day physical science course is designed and delivered by practising science teachers.

This course focuses on Year 9 and 10 physics and chemistry curriculum and teaching, including ideas for practical activities. It is suited to pre-service teachers with a background in biological sciences wanting to further develop their content knowledge and confidence using equipment when conducting experiments.

Developed in collaboration with our education support schools and the Western Australian Education Support Principals Association, this course provides participants theoretical and practical experience in both primary and secondary school settings over five days.

In addition to Western Australian curriculum, reporting and assessment, the course will have a particular focus on communication. This includes understanding the importance of working with students, their parents, therapists, and other professionals to ensure that each student's needs are met.

This course provides pre-service teachers not currently specialising in digital technologies the opportunity to upskill into the high demand area. Participants will cover Year 7 and 8 digital technology content over five days at Hampton Senior High School.
